Greenwood scores his first goal for Getafe
Greenwood has now re-opened his goal account while on loan at Getafe
Greenwood had not kicked a ball since January 22 2022 when Manchester United took on West Ham.
His last goal came three days earlier, in Man Utd’s 3-1 win over Brentford.
The ex-England striker is making his football comeback with the Spanish La Liga club after his move from Manchester United.
The winger has slowly been integrated into the Getafe first team since joining the club on September 1.
The winger has also had to make himself accustomed to his fair share of agricultural challenges with many opposition players upset by his presence in Spain’s top flight.
In his fifth league appearance for Getafe today, he scored his first goal against Celta Vigo after 33 minutes.

In this match, Greenwood had 1 dribble, the passing accuracy rate was 83%, scored 7.1 points by Sofascored
The game ended up 2-2 and puts Getafe 11th in the LaLiga table.
Greenwood, 21, was placed on administrative leave by United when the Crown Prosecution Service filed charges against him in October 2022 for attempted rape, coercive behavior, and assault causing actual bodily harm.
The lawsuit was dismissed in February 2023 as a result of key witnesses retracting their testimony and declining to testify.
As a result, United found themselves in a predicament where they might be able to bring Greenwood back into their roster.
However, United chose to loan the winger after a ferocious backlash from supporters and condemnation from important organizations.
